Campus visits and activities at UWE Bristol
Exciting opportunities
UWE Bristol offer a range of opportunities for your students to visit us on campus and learn more about higher education (HE) and life at university.
We are committed to breaking down barriers to higher education for prospective students, particularly those from backgrounds which are traditionally under-represented in HE. As a result, please note that we may prioritise certain schools and colleges for our on-campus activities.
Please feel free to get in touch with the Widening Access team by email at widening.access@uwe.ac.uk for more information about our on-campus opportunities.
